This is why we are continuing to invest in technology that makes the mortgage process easier, like the option to submit a paperless mortgage application on SmartGUIDE\u2122 and support to set healthy financial habits with the 21-day #bestlifechallenge.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h6 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>The survey found additional trends across generations<\/strong><\/h6>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Putting Down New Roots<\/h4>\n<p>Today, it&#8217;s increasingly common for both parties in a relationship to own a property when entering a marriage. However, some individuals not currently married would still prefer to start fresh with their significant other and sell both properties before tying the knot. According to the survey, 25 percent of unmarried women and 21 percent of unmarried men said if faced with this decision, they would prefer to sell both places and buy a new one after getting married.<\/p>\n<h4>Creature Comforts&nbsp;<b><br class=\"dnr\"><\/b><\/h4>\n<p>When it comes to motivations for buying their first house, millennials seem to have been <a href=\"overcoming-barriers-millennial-homeownership\/\">driven by convenience <\/a>more so than their older counterparts. According to the survey, millennials who have owned homes were more likely than their older counterparts to cite proximity to work (29 percent, versus 18 percent of Gen X and 18 percent of Baby Boomers), schools (20 percent versus 12 percent and 10 percent), and leisure activities (16 percent versus 8 percent each) as primary motivators.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;It is easier to live life to the fullest \u2013 whether you are buying a home, downsizing, or selling \u2013 when you are financially confident. While everyone has different goals, across generations and lifestyle choices, it is important to make sure your financial habits are supporting, rather than preventing, the moments that matter most to
